Abstract

A fluid line connector to establish fluid communication with a conventional male luer fitting. The fluid line connector includes a housing with a hub member having a proximal opening adapted to receive a distal portion of the male luer fitting, a threaded profile circumscribing the proximal opening, and a cam member. The cam member engages the threaded surface of the male luer fitting collar to prevent inadvertent disengagement of the male luer fitting from the housing.
